OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

mjtk07 I had a hard time finding phone cards as well.  I found them at Walgreens but not with the other gift cards cards, it was located behind the photo counter.  Maybe ask an employee where they keep them at your local Walgreens.
